The Underworld King of Prison was a fantasy novel written by Ye Xingyue. The novel told the story of a young man who transmigrated to another world and became the Hell King. In this world, there were all kinds of demons and ghosts, and the young man needed to use his power of Yama to protect the peace of the human world.

This question is difficult to answer because I don't know what kind of novel you want. If you can provide more information such as the genre, theme, plot, etc., I will try my best to provide you with more helpful answers.
The 'king of the underworld story' might be about a person who has ascended to the top in the underworld hierarchy. He may have started from humble beginnings, perhaps as a small - time criminal, and through a series of events, including making strategic alliances and eliminating his enemies, he becomes the king. The story could also be about the moral and ethical dilemmas he faces, if any, as he wields so much power in a world filled with vice and illegal activities.
I'm not sure if it's a widely popular novel. It might be a relatively niche or new release that not everyone has heard of. There could be a dedicated fan base for it among certain readers who are into underworld - themed or character - driven stories.
πI recommend a novel to you, it's called 'Those Years as a Corpse Guard at the Mortuary.' The protagonist of the novel received various rewards by burying, collecting, sewing, and completing the last wishes of the dead, including mysterious powers such as the Undying King of Hell Technique. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~π
πI recommend you to play "Ghost Queen". The female lead, Mo Luan, was the next Underworld King of the Underworld. Because of the chaos in the Underworld, she was backfired and fell into the Otherworld Continent, turning into a seven or eight-year-old girl. She was rescued by Xingmou Guyuan, and he was the legendary good-for-nothing Third Prince. The two slowly got to know each other and fell in love. Is it similar to the plot of the novel you mentioned? I hope you like my recommendation.π
Definitely not. 'Underworld' has no connection to any existing comic book. The story was crafted specifically for the big screen, offering a fresh and distinct cinematic experience.
πI recommend the novel Flowers-like Queen of Hades to you. The main character of the story was the Goddess of Supreme Palace, Chu Xia. As the Queen of Hades, she punished villains, the princess of the War Immortal World, snatched the spiritual girl, subdued the divine beast, and grasped the divine weapon. She was decisive and never sloppy. Not only could she control the Underworld, but she could also save the women in need, help the fallen prince, find the missing ancient god of war, seal the strongest Saint Emperor, and reach the peak of life with the energetic Yama. I hope you like my recommendation.π
